Loved recording this with my dad. We talked about Pen Hall, a kind lady he did jobs for as a kid. I found lots of articles about her because she lived a wealthy and glamorous life in Brisbane.

She then retired to the country and lived a completely different life.

I also also got an episode idea for the best named person ever:
Chorkles Nellie Louise Kasner-Moss

Heading into State Library Victoria to record a new episode with my dad today. We're going to be talking about Pen Hall - an old family friend I visited as a kid.

She seemed like a nice old lady who always let us have a chocolate from the box she kept on top of the fridge. But it turns out she was probably the most glamorous person I knew...

A new episode of In Those Days is out today (after a break of over a year, whoops).

Christina Adams and I are joined by husband of the pod, Lincoln Turner. We discuss Lincoln's grandfather's letters to the editor, published in the Canberra Times in the '60s and '70s and digitised in #Trove.

Was really fun talking about Major Eugene Milton Sanchez who was a big character who had big adventures.

It was also great to record in State Library Victoria's podcast studio - it's so nice in there and it's free! Almost don't want to tell people about it, because everyone will be there.
